It will not be enough.
Many packages depend on CUPS (for example KDE), but CUPS does not depend on
them (fortunately CUPS does not require KDE!!)
The proper way to do what you suggest is to go "at the other end of the
chain": install something that depends on many other things. All the
dependencies will be worked out. A good try would be with some KDE packages,
like kdebase3, kdelibs3 or kdegraphics3.
